JSP Tags - Access a clipboard property using PEGA Engine API
I need help with finding or accessing a property on a clipboard page using JSP tags from a control.
I have a property (P) and a control associated with that property. The control gadget has JSP tags in the HTML tab of the control which display the value to a user on a portal.
I can access the Property (P) inside of my control using String strPropP = tools.getActiveValue();
My requirement is to gather another property from the same class and same clipboard page and then need to compare this Property (P) which i can access and display the result of the comparison.
How can I access another property Q on the clipboard page from within this control?
I tried several methods including
String strPropQ = tools.getActive().getProperty("Q").getStringValue();
Code compiles withour error but fails at runtime.
It fails because I am unable to GET the property Q from the clipboard.
Any ideas on how to access and/or retrieve a clipboard property
1. by using the tools. API and/or
2. from within a control gadget.

Below code might help:
ClipboardPage page = tools.findPage("YourClipboardPageName");
String strPropQ = page.getString("Q");
Also,check ClipboardAPI from PegaHelp ==> APIs ==> EngineAPIs

Hi,
Execute a javascript function onClick of <Option> tag.
Then, you can use JSP scriplets to set properties.
Also,
In JavaScript function, you can call an activity to set properties using below code.
var setPropURL = new URL([ClassName.ActivityName]);
var paramData = new URL();
paramData.put("ParamPropertyName","Value");
var callback;
var request = pega.util.connect.asyncRequest('POST', setPropURL.toURL(),callback,paramData.toEncodedPostBody());

Assuming clipboard page is MyPage which has the two properties A and B. Value of A needs to be copied to value of B.
<%
tools.findPage("MyPage").putString(".B", tools.findPage("MyPage").getString(".A"));
%>

Thanks.
I was able to access any clipboard page including declare pages by passing the name of that particular page in the findPage method.
ClipboardPage page = tools.findPage("YourClipboardPageName");

1) Create a data transform to copy properties from pyWorkPage to your new page
2) Create an activity with Apply-DataTransform step
3) Execute activity from JSP using below code
HashStringMap hmActivityKeys = new HashStringMap();
hmActivityKeys .putString("pxObjClass", "Rule-Obj-Activity");
hmActivityKeys .putString("pyClassName", "[Applies-To-Class of Activity]");
hmActivityKeys .putString("pyActivityName", "[ActivityName]");
ParameterPage newParamsPage = new ParameterPage();
newParamsPage.putString("[ParamName]", "[ParamValue]");
tools.doActivity(hmActivityKeys , targetPage, newParamsPage);

Hi , I have a similar requirement of getting a clipboard value into a JavaScript variable.
Am setting a variable in script like -
var e1 = '<%= tools.findPage("Clipboardpage").getString("propertyname") %>';
Have set an alert now to see what value is e1 holding and found it as - <%=tools.findPage("Clipboardpage").getString("propertyname") %>
instead of value from clipboard.
Can you please tell me what i have to correct in the assigning step so as to get the expected value from clipboard.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.Thanks in advance.
